About the Company

Feion Green Ventures Ltd is a dedicated clean energy company focused on providing sustainable and innovative cooking solutions tailored for institutions across Africa. Our mission is to reduce firewood dependency, enhance energy efficiency, and improve the well-being of communities by providing affordable, high-capacity electric pressure cookers. Our flagship product, the Jiko-Kul Electric Pressure Cooker (EPC), addresses large-scale cooking needs for schools, hospitals, and other institutions by utilizing both solar and grid electricity, offering a cleaner, cost-effective, and reliable alternative to traditional firewood-based cooking.

Our Vision

We envision a future where every institution in Africa, from
schools to healthcare facilities, can access clean, efficient, and affordable cooking technologies. Over the next five years, Feion Green Ventures aims to become a leader in sustainable cooking solutions in developing nations, championing innovation, social impact, and environmental sustainability. Our goal is to empower communities to thrive through sustainable energy solutions and contribute to global environmental stewardship.

Our Mission

Our mission is to eliminate institutional reliance on
firewood by delivering high-capacity, affordable, and
locally manufactured clean cooking solutions.
Through our Jiko-Kul EPC and innovative payment models,
we make clean cooking accessible to
institutions, promoting environmental sustainability,
reducing deforestation, and supporting healthier communities.

Our Theory of Change

Our Theory of Change is grounded in the belief tha access to clean, affordable, and efficient cooking technology can transform institutional meal preparation across Africa, yielding social, economic, and environmental benefits.

Here’s how our impact unfolds:

Problem Identification: Schools and institutions face high costs, health hazards, and environmental damage due to firewood dependency.

Innovative Solution: Feion’s Jiko-Kul EPC provides a viable alternative that integrates solar and electric power, cutting firewood use by up to 75% and reducing operational costs by up to 50%.

Implementation and Adoption: By offering flexible payment models such as lease-to-own and pay-as-you-go, Feion lowers the financial barriers for institutions, enabling a gradual, sustainable transition to clean energy.

Immediate Impact: Schools and institutions reduce firewood costs, cooking times, and improve indoor air quality, directly impacting both financial savings and health outcomes.

Long-Term Change: As institutions adopt clean cooking technologies at scale, we foresee reduced deforestation, improved public health, and strengthened local economies, creating a sustainable ecosystem.

Through this change process, Feion aims to be a catalyst for long-lasting environmental and social benefits that align with the global shift toward sustainable energy.

Our Impact

Environmental Impact

The Jiko-Kul EPC reduces firewood consumption in schools by up to 75%, preserving thousands of trees annually and significantly cutting carbon emissions. This contributes directly to reducing deforestation and climate change while conserving local biodiversity.

Health Impact

By eliminating the need for traditional firewood stoves, we help improve indoor air quality in institutional kitchens, reducing exposure to harmful smoke and lowering the risk of respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses for kitchen staff and students.

Financial Impact

Schools save up to 70% on cooking costs by switching to the Jiko-Kul EPC. The time saved in cooking—up to 75%—also translates to more time for educational activities, directly benefiting students and staff. Additionally, the savings on fuel costs can be reallocated to other pressing institutional needs.

Community Empowerment

Our lease-to-own and pay-as-you-go models make clean cooking accessible to institutions that otherwise would struggle with high upfront costs. Furthermore, we empower communities through training programs for local technicians, providing them with skills to install and maintain these systems, contributing to job creation and economic growth.

Our Milestones

Incubated by KCIC: Supported under the CleanTech and GreenBiz programs of the Kenya Climate Innovation Center, Feion has grown with mentorship and funding from the Embassy of Switzerland.

Pioneering Local Production: Developed the first 55L + 8L double electric cooker and first 130L Electric Pressure Cooker (EPC) prototype in partnership with Techwin Limited, achieving initial testing success and securing a patent.

Pilot Programs: Successfully tested the Jiko-Kul EPC in Kitui County, achieving significant cooking time reductions and operational cost savings for schools using electricity.

Recognition and Awards: Feion is proud to have won several awards, including $5,000 at the Youth Energy Summit’s Youthpreneur Pitch Showdown, and a Youth4Climate award in the sustainable energy thematic area.

Pilot Programs and Impact

Our pilot programs have demonstrated the Jiko-Kul EPC’s potential to transform institutional cooking in Kenya. Testing at St. Patrick’s Mutune Secondary School showed:

75% reduction in cooking time.

70% savings in operational costs compared to firewood use.

Significant environmental benefits by lowering firewood demand, preserving trees, and reducing indoor smoke exposure for kitchen staff.

Our continued partnership with MECS(Modern Energy Cooking Services) & KPLC(Kenya Power & Lighting Company) in testing e-cooking devices has allowed us to refine our products and improve their functionality, ensuring they meet the high demands of institutional use.
